Anybody want to give me advice on how to back up everything important from an Android phone? Assume I have about… eight hours and somewhere in there I have to sleep.
I guess I'm using adb, but I barely know what I'm supposed to be grabbing, also neither adb pull nor the https://github.com/jb2170/better-adb-sync tool google says to use is like… y'know… doing anything…
Me: I would like to back up my files to my laptop
EVERY SINGLE PHONE, APP, OPERATING SYSTEM, APPLICATION, LITERALLY ANYTHING: Sure, just send the files to us over the Internet
Me: That is not what I said
SIGNAL/ELEMENT/PROBABLY BITCOIN, I WOULDN'T KNOW: You cannot trust cloud providers and remote "apps" with your data. The appropriate thing is to store your private keys on your phone, since that is a secure, personal device you carry with you at all times
A LITERAL ROCK: Hey check out this cool trick
@mcc I went through a lot of pain to figure out that I the answer was "use a time machine to root your device back before you put all those things you care about on it"
Which is just extremely upsetting
